I can't remember exactly how I started nardil..but I believe I increased it by 15 mg a week until I was at 45..then I increased it about a month later to 60, where I'm still at..
I was terrified to go on Naril, but I've found it to be the best AD I've ever been on..the worst side effect unfortunately for me is insomnia, but I've been able to work with my pdoc to find a combo of nite meds to combat it..otherwise I wouldn't have been able to stay on it..
I haven't experienced any hypotension. For me and some others terrible gas is a problem..and constipation, some balance problems and I tend to transpose lots of letters when I type..plus I am more forgetful, however, for me other than the insomnia, they are more physical sensations, which I have no problem tolerating. It has settled my racing mind a lot and made me so much more social..I was a terrible self-isolator. It was too much for me to be around people.
I'm so glad I overcame my fears of taking a MAOI and worked with my pdoc about the insomnia..it truly has turned my life around.
